I started digging into some old comics to pull out some more Ditko covers to run with the covers to Amazing Adult Fantasy after our weekend binge on Stan Lee & Steve Ditko's work before Spider-Man. However, i got kind of lost along the way - distracted by all those old Ditko pages that kept popping up.
So, covers later - more stories today; 24 pages of Ditko. We don't know who wrote any of these tales, as is often the case from those ancient days.
Before you ask - Yes, this first story is pre-Code...
As you can tell from the top of the page, i rather liked the creepy imagery for this one...
This next tale is from 1954. I mention the date because i'm wondering if this was the first story printed with this particular twist...
Okay - more Ditko this week, along with some of the other folks he was working alongside back in those days.
Meanwhile, i may actually paint something for the first time since Kirby's 100th. Work is set up, now it's time to find out if the graphics tablet is still working, and if the system will avoid dying if i try to paint.
Oh, the suspense...
